Dont know much about it but i do know when people go they dont come back because of the shithole that Britain is.

It will be awesome, Im very jealous. Good luck and all the best with it.

We're flying with shanghai airlines.. shop around mate, we had flights lined up for £666 <-- dodgy number

but they sold as we farted about for too long..

I've been to perth befopre when I was like 13 and I loved it...

This time it will be different though.

My old man lives in brisbane, my uncle in sydney and my aunty in perth

so If i get stuck i have a roof and food

But I do want to travel so I wont be staying with them tbh


Good on all that are doing it too btw


Thanks everyone

I did, thats as cheap as i could fly at around that time of year. I know many people who have travelled long distance, particually to Australia. Each of them have told me not to skimp on the flight (obviously dont go over board either)

Pay cheap, and you get cheap. Each to their own tbh
